Canon MP 150 - ink refill problems

Hi,

I have bought a Canon MP 150 multifunctional printer. It is almost impossible to refill the ink-cartridges. If I do so the printer just simply “wont-print”! The “empty-ink-indicators” continue to blink even after I refilled the cartridges and cleaned them. Is there a way to “bypass” the “recognition software” and to just “force” the printer to accept my “print-command”?

Thank you in advance for your help!




 
I wouldn't bother. I don't think that you will be able too. Newer Inkjet's sometimes have a chip built into the cartridge that remembers the last state of the cartridge.
I used to refill my cartridges but found that the quality of the print was never as good & also reduced the life of the printer. You could try compatibles, but I wouldn't recommend them. I know the OEM cartridges are expensive, but you end up with a better print quality & longer life for the printer.
 
Thats all very nice and fine, however a new B/W and color cartridegs could be the same price as a new printer. So check your options.
